    Among other things, I find use strict 'no unwrapped candy' weak.
    # No, spaces prevent the use of qw() use strict 'no unwrapped candy'; # No, Using "no" and "use" together is confusing use strict 'no_unwrapped_candy'; # No, that would mean unwrapped candy is allowed. no strict 'unwrapped_candy'; # No, this is a no-op since the default is 'no' for strict stuff. no strict 'wrapped_candy'; # There we go. This is Perl. use strict 'wrapped_candy';
